Innovative ultra-light compact karabiner with "MonoFil Keylock system" (or a single strand wire gate to you and me).
This gives a very light krab which does away with the possibility of clipping the nose of one krab through the wiregate of another (a very awkward thing to untangle one handed!). The shape of the nose is designed to optimize clipping and unclipping and, due to the keylock gate, there is nothing for anything to catch on.
Ideal for mountaineering and multi-pitch climbing where weight reduction is paramount.
A small indent on the bottom of the Ange Karabiner helps keep the Petzl "String" (the rubber bit on the extender) in place so that the quickdraw sling is properly positioned on the krab.
The surfaces that come in contact with the rope and with the anchor are wider, making the passage of the rope smoother and reducing karabiner wear.
The nose of the carabiner has a hole that allows ice, snow or dirt to be cleared out.
Available in orange or light grey.
